Yo @OpenAI! I accepted an invite to become an admin on an OpenAI Ads account and ran into a Google OAuth error that I can't get around. Went through support channels and got paired with "Kimberly," who turned out to be an AI agent that has been stuck in a recurring loop for days. Have repeatedly asked to be escalated to a real human with no luck. Appreciate any support you can offer here. Literally trying to give you thousands of dollars, but I can't because I've been locked out of my account for at least 72 hours. Sorry for airing it out in public like this, but there aren't any obvious pathways to self-serve or get some assistance from an actual human, so... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Don't believe the "one shotters" telling you the the new Meta Higgsfield MCP connectors for Claude are going to revolutionize your ad creative production process. I've already spent 20% of the monthly credit allowance on my brand new Higgsfield account and these are the two "best" clips I've created so far...and they're awful. Not to mention the ~15 failed runs I had that weren't even remotely close to being production ready or the fact that these all still need to be stitched together in a cohesive narrative to be viable as a 60-second ad. I imagine it would take me a good four hours of vibe marketing to get a single video ad I'd be comfortable publishing, and I'd probably burn through my $150/mo plan to get there. I'm sure it's powerful in the hands of an expert. But if you're a beginner or intermediate user, you should expect to burn a bunch of time and tokens trying to figure it out.

Sad to see Anthropic make the same decisions as potato chips and breakfast cereal... "We're going to give them 70% as much product at a 30% higher cost."

The Audio Overviews in NotebookLM are so, so good. Anybody know how I can replicate that level of quality/user experience using something like @ElevenLabs? I don't know how they get the pithy back and forth and natural reactions so dialed in (Ex: gasps, chuckles, sighs) but I want to replicate THAT using AI. Every multi-speaker project I create in ElevenLabs sounds fragmented, disjointed, and robotic.

Shout out to all the people who've figured out how to use OpenClaw to make $100k . I've been using it for about 45 days and... • My lead agent is still an idiot who fails at basic tasks like making project/task assignments despite operating on Opus 4.6 • My writing agents still write generic AI slop and social posts packed with hashtags despite having extremely detail voice/tone guides and specific directives around how to use them • My design agent still regularly wastes tokens generating images that take significant creative liberties, even when she's been given specific prompts to use • My developer agent was such a liability that he needed to be shut down within 7 days of being activated and I've taken back control via Claude Code Totally understand that this is a skill gap for me, but just wanted to share at least one story where it's not "push button and make money machine go brrrrrrrr."

Who has cracked AI-powered ad generation for SaaS? EVERY example I've seen is statics and UGC for physical products. I haven't seen anything that would be usable for services, infoproducts, or SaaS. I'm sure it's out there, but in my personal feed it seems like blue ocean.

There's real untapped potential in using live shopping to promote and sell software. A lot of SaaS marketing is overpromising and under delivering. Great opportunity for people who are willing to stand behind their product to win.

Coining a new term: rage-ents. AI powered agents that were supposed to save you thousands of hours, but are too buggy, inconsistent, or disparate to deliver on that promise long-term. A more modern version of Zapier workflows. Amazingly productive...until they aren't.

If I knew anything about cohort forecasting or the intricate workings of the Meta ads algorithm I'd be taking a hard look at this opportunity to work with @andrewjfaris and @soundslikecanoe. Incredible opportunity for someone more qualified 👇 linkedin.com/jobs/view/43660…

Seems like this is fixed. Not sure how long it lasted, but mine was working again within an hour of posting this. At least they have devs making $3M/year who are ready to jump in and fix things like this. Haha

Anybody else's image generation functionality with ChatGPT completely broken right now? No matter what I put in as a prompt, I keep getting broken outputs like this. Never run into this before. 😬

I think it's hilarious when people suggest AI will have a deflationary effect. Yeah, it's almost guaranteed to dramatically reduce costs. But what evidence suggests that capitalists will choose to reduce prices instead of just enjoying bigger margins? I haven't seen any.

Who has the best resource on using AI to build creative assets for Ad Campaigns? I've got campaign concepts, marketing copy, and creative briefs handled. I'm getting stuck on using AI to generate graphics that are ready to use right away. Still having lots of logo/text issues.

I wish every podcast monetized the way @FoundersPodcast does. Nothing more jarring than being neck deep in a conversation about UFOs or a narrative retelling of Leonidas' 300 Spartans and getting smacked in the face with a lame ass ad read for bamboo sheets and Popeye's chicken.

Remember when everyone used the top five Google search results to make a purchasing decision? Then we realized they're all just pushing the products with the best affiliate commissions? Yeah, that's basically what Reddit is going to be now. Sad for all the OG Redditors.

Just going to put this out into the universe. I am ONE client away from hitting my stretch goal for 2025. If you want LinkedIn/Newsletter content that helps grow your audience and authority without compromising your authenticity, check this out. hiddenhands.co
